A word of caution when speaking about performance. Just have a look at some recent threads of http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-qt-comments/2004Feb/ and you'll see that by "performance" some members of the WGs understand obtaining incorrect, distorted results faster -- for example, getting unordered items as a result of a query. We should clearly say: "No, Thank you" to such offers of performance and in fact ask that the "performance" of producing incorrect results be reduced to zero. See for example: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-qt-comments/2004Feb/1006.html Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev FXSL developer, http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL Resume: http://fxsl.sf.net/DNovatchev/Resume/Res.html XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
